GOOD STABLE FLOOR.
The Best Way of Construction and How to
Take Care of 1t.

Take Care of 1t.
The horse stable is frequently over
the COW Inter so that it becomes neces-
sary to have a tight floor to prevent
the cow stable from catching the
drainage of the horse stalls. At the
same time, the horse stalls should be
kept dry and easily cleaned. This is
the way we found they fixed it ut the
Wisconsin Experiment Station. Lay
the joists, cover with inch boards, upon
which lay tarred building paper, then
wrap thickly with coal tar, in which
lay the .planks, being very careful to
till up all cracks with the hot tar. This
makes an impervious floor.
The stalls are nine feet long and FIVE
feet wide, with 4 tive-foot passage way
behind the horses. The floor plank
under the horses are laid lengthwise
of the stall and have fall of one inch;
the planks in the passage way are laid
crosswise of the stall and level. Then
rack for the stall floor is made as fol-
lows: Cut four pieces of 2x6 studding
Is feet long. once in the middle, fasten
them together one inch apart (using
screws), with four hard wood cross
pieces four inches wide. The first of
these cross-pieces at the head of the
stall should be one inch thick, the sec
ond piece II inches. the third piece Ii
inches. and the fourth 2 inches in
thickness. This takes uo the fall in
plank floor and makes a dry level
place for horses to stand. This rack
or floor can be easily repaired at light
cost when the center pieces are worn
out
About once week the rack should
be raised ups and thoroughly cleaned
underneath with hoe or long-handled
shovel. The liquid manure will then
work to the rear of the rack. where it
can be taken up with absorbents and
thus save the most valuable portion. -
